Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) enhances productivity by preemptively detecting attacks and integrating well within the Cisco portfolio.

Despite its high stability and performance when paired with Firepower, improvements are needed in SIEM integration, reporting, licensing complexity, and configuration simplicity. High pricing remains a challenge compared to competitors.
